Two-component models are of limited value for the assessment of body composition in patients with cirrhosis
(2006)
Most techniques for measuring body composition are based on 2-component models (2-CMs) and depend on assumptions relating to the constancy of the density (D(FFM)) and hydration fraction (HF(FFM)) of fat-free mass (FFM).
Soy-isoflavone-enriched foods and inflammatory biomarkers of cardiovascular disease risk in postmenopausal women : interactions with genotype and equol production
(2005-12)
Dietary isoflavones are thought to be cardioprotective because of their structural similarity to estrogen. The reduction of concentrations of circulating inflammatory markers by estrogen may be one of the mechanisms by ...
Buprenorphine mortality, seizures and prescription data in the UK, 1980-2002
(2005)
Buprenorphine safety in overdose has been debated recently, but no mortality data related to this compound from the UK have been published. To gather together all of the buprenorphine mortality figures, a number of different ...
An association between respiratory function and bone mineral density in women from the general community : a cross sectional study
(2002)
Respiratory function has been associated with bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with respiratory diseases. We examined the relationship between bone density measured at the hip and respiratory function in women from ...

Suicide among drug addicts in the UK
(1999)
The extent of suicide among addicts in the UK has not been sufficiently examined.
Resting energy expenditure should be measured in patients with cirrhosis, not predicted
(1999)
Measurements of resting energy expenditure (REE) can be used to determine energy requirements. Prediction formulae can be used to estimate REE but have not been validated in cirrhotic patients. REE was measured, by indirect ...
